Hello again.

The model is a WEBASTO WAECO MDC model.

Check out the Waeco site at the following :

If the link doesent work then just go to www.waeco.co.uk

I am not too hot on this type of absorbtion fridge systems, but if you try and contact (Webasto) Waeco direct they may have a technical advice contact.

Always write down the model and serial number & any other numbers,letters or details.

Good Luck

Here�s how absorption refrigeration works: a concentrated ammonia solution is heated in a hermetic system and driven off as vapour. The pressurised ammonia gas is then liquefied in a condenser and supplied with hydrogen. As a result, it evaporates and, in the process, extracts heat from the food storage space. The ammonia gas then enters the absorber where it is reabsorbed in a weak solution of ammonia. Finally, the saturated solution flows back to the boiler where the whole cycle starts again. The boiler can be powered by either gas, 12 or 230 volts.
